Anyone (especially simulation types) have any examples of using raw ethernet? I
am trying to connect a Evans & Sutherland ESIG 5350 Image generator and they use
raw ethernet. I am running Redhat 6.0/6.1 SMP.

I read the network newsgroups and cobbled up some code but it doesn't compile.
Man 4 packet refers to using a sockaddr_ll struct to pass the MAC address but
bind, sendto, and recvfrom all complain about type errors because they want a
sockaddr, not a sockaddr_ll. Also, what is a sll_ifindex?
